Congresswoman Frederica Wilson, representing Florida’s 24th district, recently took a group of young scholars from the 5000 Role Models program on a trip to Washington, D.C. The trip aimed to inspire and motivate these students to reach for their dreams, showing them that no goal is too big and no challenge too great. The 5000 Role Models program, founded by Congresswoman Wilson in 1993, is an in-school dropout prevention initiative. Its mission is to provide support and guidance to young men, helping them stay in school and achieve academic success. The program is based in Miami, Florida, and can be visited online at www.5000rolemodels.com.
